Daily Journal
The anti-idea-leakage system. Every day gets a note. Every note has two voices.
What This Is
One file per day. Named YYYY-MM-DD.md and stored in the daily/ folder. This is the universal entry point for everything that happens in a day. There is no separate inbox. The daily note catches brain dumps, captures, links, screenshots, and everything else that needs a home.
The Two Halves
Every daily note has two distinct sections. One is yours. The other belongs to the agents.
| Section | Owner | What It Contains |
|---|---|---|
| Human Entry | You | Your space. Brain dumps, mood, quick captures, raw thoughts. Agents never edit this section. |
| Agent Entry | The team | Team standup. Each of the 7 agents reports what they did, what they found, and what needs attention. |
How a Note Gets Created
You run /dailyto start a session. The system creates today's note from a template, processes yesterday's unfinished captures, surfaces priorities from the task board, and opens up space for your brain dump. Agents analyze what you wrote and add their standup entries.

Reflections
The daily cadence feeds into two recurring reflection cycles. Both run automatically and produce written output stored in daily/reflections/.
| Reflection | Agent | Schedule | What It Produces |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weekly | Mirror | Every Sunday | Patterns, wins, drift detection, energy map, recommended focus for next week. |
| Monthly | Compass | 1st of each month | Progress against goals, theme shifts, strategic recommendations, quarterly alignment check. |
Health Signals
You can tell if the daily system is working by watching these signals.
| Signal | Healthy | Unhealthy |
|---|---|---|
| Daily cadence | Note created most days, at least 5 of 7. | Gaps of 3+ days with no daily note. |
| Human entry | Brain dumps present, real thoughts, not just links. | Empty human sections or only pasted URLs. |
| Agent standup | Agents reporting useful observations and next actions. | Generic or repetitive agent entries with no substance. |
| Task extraction | Brain dumps turning into proposed tasks within 24 hours. | Captures sitting unprocessed for days. |
| Family balance | Sessions ending at reasonable hours. Family mentions present. | Late night sessions with no breaks. No personal entries. |
